I did this as a project for a class last year and thought it might be helpful for some people on th GS who would like to start fletching thier own arrows. I enjoy having the custome look, plus it gives me something to do during the off season. The wraps are from Cameron.

It will be coming soon. I am looking into a couple other jigs right now. Might do some with real feahers and a blitzenberger jig. Then maybe an arizona ez fletch. These seem to be the most popular ones. Thanks for the compliments

That's a great write up! I use a JoJan helical fletcher and helped my 10yo daughter fletch her 1916s the other day. So don't be intimidated if anybody is new to it, with a little practice it's an easy way to save some $$$

That's a good project, but I have one question for you and anybody else who is more knowledgable than I am. I was told once to never submerge a carbon arrow into acetone because the acetone erodes the resin that holds the carbon together. I suppose if you've been doing it this way for a while and not had any problems, maybe it's okay, but I have always scraped as much residue off as humanly possible, then wiped the shafts down with acetone until it was all gone. What's the word on acetone damaging carbon shafts?

Awsom job. I have 1 question. What is the trick to the glue distribution? ? I always end up with either to much or to little , or more on one side of the fletching than the other.. how do you get that just right every time so that all of your arrows look professional and exactly the same???

Its really not a big deal just do it a couple of times and you will know just how much to use. Sometimes i still have a little too much and it squeezes out the sides, but a little too much is better than not enough.
